An edit of bespoke hotels in the UAE you’ll want to discover.

Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island – Abu Dhabi


Boasting three different experiences on one exclusive island, you can escape from it all at Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island. The first of the three concepts is the Desert Islands Resort & Spa where you’ll experience a unique blend of desert, beach and wildlife. The second is the Al Sahel which features just 30 villas spread through the island’s lush savannah. You might even wake up to the sight of a wild gazelle. The final hotel concept on Sir Bani Yas Island by Anantara is the Al Yamm resort which is an all-villa sanctuary paying homage to an Emirati fishing village. Guests will be able to wake up to the incredible sight of the Arabian Gulf and overlook the luscious mangroves simultaneously.

Oberoi Beach Resort Al Zorah – Ajman

Oberoi Al Zorah

The Oberoi Beach Resort Al Zorah in Aj-man is truly an escape like no other in the UAE. Located just a 40-minute drive from Downtown Dubai, Al Zorah allows its guests to completely get away from city life. It first opened in 2017 as the second UAE- based property for the family-owned Oberoi group. Unlike its Dubai counterpart which is in the heart of the city, Al Zorah is a tranquil getaway and feels like a world of its own. Designed by Italian architect Piero Lissoni, the sophisticated contemporary resort encompasses an open-plan concept complete with earthy tones and seamlessly blends in with its natural surroundings. Reflected in the design of Al Zorah is the epitome of Oberoi as a brand – creating a bespoke experience for its guests.
